Although direct ink writing (DIW) is a versatile 3D printing technique, progress in DIW has been constrained by the stringent rheological requirements for printable conductive nanocomposites, particularly at smaller length scales. In this work, we overcome these challenges using an aqueous nanocomposite ink with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) submicrobeads and an electrochemically derived graphene oxide (EGO) nanofiller. This nanocomposite ink possesses a thixotropic, self-supporting viscoelasticity. It can be easily extruded through very small nozzle openings (as small as 50 mu m) allowing for the highest resolution PDMS DIW reported to date. With a mild thermal annealing, the DIW-printed device exhibits low resistivity (1660 Omega.cm) at a low percolation threshold of EGO (0.83 vol.%) owing to the unique nanocomposite structure of graphene-wrapped elastomeric beads. The nanocomposite ink was used to print wearable, macro-scale strain sensing patches, as well as remarkably small, micron-scale pressure sensors. The large-scale strain sensors have excellent performance over a large working range (up to 40% strain), with high gauge factor (20.3) and fast responsivity (83 ms), while the micron-scale pressure sensors demonstrated high pressure sensitivity (0.31 kPa(-1)) and operating range (0.248-500 kPa). Ultrahigh resolution, multi-material layer-by-layer deposition allows the engineering of microscale features into the devices, features which can be used to tune the piezoresistive mechanism and degree of piezoresistivity.
